Get ready for a really random post. First things first…we haven’t had a “Verdict” in a while… I’m definitely long overdue for picking apart celeb outfits and unapologetically declaring one a winner. That sounds hard, but really, they clearly don’t care what I think.

And. here. we. go…

I was flipping through some photos of some style-stealing celebs and came across this one. Both ladies are totally gorg and on trend with the sheer blouse, but let’s face it, some people wear certain items better than others. I’m always a big fan of the “polished” look so for me Miranda Kerr takes this one. The sleek navy skinny pant coupled with the fantastic and always effortlessly chic bare, nude pump really kick this outfit up a notch. It’s totally casual, but still looks put-together – a “can’t-go-wrong” combo in my opinion.

So where did Jennifer Hudson, the newly slimmed down diva, go awry? Well, it certainly wasn’t her playful hair or fresh-faced makeup. For me, it was the sloppy buttoning of the untucked blouse and the navy and black legging pairing. Now I know the blue/black rule technically no longer applies, but I’m sorry… I just don’t like it. It almost looks like you got dressed in the dark and you tried to match colors, but failed. I will say, I love Jenny’s loafers. These babies are so in right now and I’m dying to get my hands on a pair!

Overall “Verdict”? The beautious Miranda and her flawless after-baby figure for the win!

Here’s where things get random. Wondering about the title? Even if you aren’t, you should be and you also should have said it in Stewie’s voice…but that’s beside the point. Anyway, in yesterday’s sweet treats post I failed to mention a really adorable companion to this winter’s inevitable hot chocolate binge: I give you the cool ‘whhhhip’ heart!

Ta-da!

This couldn’t be easier either. Simply buy a tub of this creamy goodness, freeze it in a pan, and then use a heart-shaped cookie cutter to instantly make your drab, yet delicious drink, more appealing.

How cute is this!? Everyone should be drinking this, like, all the time. Even if you aren’t drinking it, just have it near you…it’s that pretty. Thanks to Darla of Bakingdom (such a clever name, right!?), we can all have a little fun this winter. Check out the recipe below!

**NOTE: For a semi-homemade version, replace the strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice with 1/4 cup strawberry milk drink mix, such as Nesquik.

**NOTE:If you want yours sweeter, add up to an extra half cup of sugar while the mixture is cooking.

HOW TO DO IT

Slice the strawberries then toss them in a medium bowl with the sugar and lemon juice.

Cover and set aside for one hour.

Stir the strawberry mixture to evenly coat everything, then transfer it to a blender or food processor. Process until completely pureed, then press the strawberries through a fine mesh sieve to remove the seeds.

Pour the strawberries back into the processor and add the milk and cream. Process until blended.

Transfer the mixture to a small saucepan set over medium heat in the white chocolate. Cooking over medium heat, whisking almost constantly, until it just barely begins to lightly boil, about 10 minutes; remove from heat.

Transfer to your favorite mug, top with marshmallows or whipped cream, and any other yummy treats.
